RDC
becomes the first Computer Recycler globally to achieve
the BSI ‘Integrated Management System’ certification
RDC, the UK’s leading computer reuse and recycling specialist, who report 100% recovery and zero landfill for computer recycling, has earned the BSI’s Integrated Management System (IMS) certificate. This incorporates separate Quality (ISO9001), Environment (ISO14001) and Health & Safety (OHSAS18001) certificates. The scope of this certification assures customers that their business risks and legal obligations in relation to the reuse and recycling of computers are demonstrably met. RDC's certification guarantees that all IT recycling is fully compliant with UK and EU legislation, exceeding the new European WEEE Directive targets.
RDC is the first end-of-life IT asset management company worldwide and only one of three companies across Britain to achieve IMS certification from the BSI. Integrated Management System Certification recognises that an organisation’s management system is integrated into one rather than three separate processes.
Gerry Hackett, managing director at RDC comments “RDC is committed to promoting best practise within our industry and we see certification as being vital in delivering the level of service our customers require. Our customers need assurance that their protected and confidential data has been eradicated, that electrical safety has been tested, that functionality is warranted, that each individual item is accounted for and traceable, and that best prices for remarketed equipment are achieved.
The process of certification has also been a key asset facilitating growth. At the start of the process in May 2000, we employed 80 people in a 57,000 square foot facility in Witham, Essex. We now employ 160 people in 200,000 sq foot facilities in the UK and Germany and are the largest dedicated IT reuse and recycling organisation in Europe.”
The BSI, the world’s leading standards development and assessment organisation, independently audit RDC on a continuous basis to ensure the Integrated Management System meets the rigorous requirements of the three separate certifications.
